The new BORA Pure wins the iF DESIGN AWARD and Plus X Award before it even reaches the market

March 2019

Raubling. BORA Lüftungstechnik GmbH, manufacturer of innovative cooktop extractors, has received the renowned iF DESIGN AWARD as well as the most important innovation award in the world, the Plus X Award in the categories of Innovation, High Quality, Design, Ease of Use and Functionality, for its innovative product development BORA Pure. This means that the new product line, together with the new BORA Classic 2.0, has already been honoured with two important awards before it goes onto the market in May 2019.

BORA Pure is a compact system and an introduction into the world of BORA cooktop extractors. The design is sleek and simple, but with plenty of character. The air inlet nozzle is available in six different colours, enabling a personal touch in every home. Another highlight is the newly developed, spacesaving concept for removing the recirculation filter. The filter can be replaced within a matter of seconds, as easy as pie.

The fully flush-mounted induction cooktop offers four cooking zones. With its ergonomic design and arrangement of functions, the innovative operating concept is sure to win you over. The most important functions with their acoustic and visual feedback can be quickly operated via the intuitive vertical slider (sControl) at the push of a button.
